Advice for going back in education
My older friends have been telling me to go back to education and now I've actually started looking into it. If I was to go to Uni, I need my A-Levels or any level 3 qualifications basically.
Since I'm already 21, would it cost anything to start studying for the courses? Is there also student finance for it even though its not Uni because I will still need to pay my bills and everything even if I become am a full-time student.

There are a few options available to you.
For 1 & 2, you can apply for an advance learner loan (works a bit like student finance):

For 3, you can apply with student finance. Essentially you'd apply for a 4/5 year course at uni, where 1 year includes a foundation year - and you will get funding for all years.
Depends on your situation, but I would personally recommend an Access diploma 🙂
1.
Access to HE Diploma
2.
A Levels at a College
3.
Foundation Year at University
